Honestly, I joined lemmy.ml first before really taking a look at the ideals of most of that userbase and I just do not agree with a large part of what they identify with.
Bounced around to a few other instances that all seemed... Idk not the right fit. But kbin so far seems much more my style and I finally now got an account created so we'll see how it goes.
I feel like the server owner matters more than the platform itself. Which is to say that while I'm also not a fan of how far left the lemmy devs are, I have found some lemmy communities to be more in line with my values. I imagine if lemmy grows at all we're eventually going to see many views represented. So I think whether to use kbin or lemmy should really come down to aesthetic preferences. I personally prefer the look/feel of lemmy, but I respect anyone who prefers kbin. It's pretty cool that we can communicate across platforms. Really shows the power of ActivityPub.
I'm curious what has turned you off here, since I'm very new. Reddit's weirdly right wing political tilt has been turning me off for some time now, hoping that's not the case here.
Also new, and I'm with you- reddit was always too full of right wingers for my liking. I also like this instance (lemmy.ml)and it seems to have a more left tilt, specifically when it comes to bigotry.
Why even bring up politics?
